Plot[]
Deirdre can't understand why Mike is renting No.1 out and not selling it. Gail returns to work to take her mind off the situation. She is startled when Martin suggests she sees a psychiatrist. She refuses to accept she needs medical help just because he's had an affair. She is amazed when Alma agrees that she should see a doctor as she's obviously not well. Tracy assures Deirdre that she is not a drug addict but indulges every now and again. Cathy Power tells Martin she feels sorry for him being married to possessive Gail. She tells him it's obvious Gail regards him as her property. Ken goes to see a solicitor and explains he can't accept the fact that he can't see his child. He is dismayed to learn he has no rights as Daniel's father. The solicitor advises him to sort things out with Denise to avoid a court case. Gail sees her doctor and is given a prescription for anti-depressants. Reg is relieved to hear the Americans pulled out as Firman's Freezers was always only their second choice. Rodney probes Raquel to find out Bet's relationships with men. Bet asks Raquel not to discourage him as she might need a man someday. Mike assures Deirdre that Tricia is only staying at No.1 until he can find a buyer. Bet tells Ken she knows he's got nowhere to live so she'll put him up at the Rovers and won't take no for an answer. He is grateful. Raquel asks Rodney not to make a move on Bet but wait for her to seek him out. Deirdre is upset to hear Denise won't let Ken see Daniel. She tells him that she's concerned as she wants him to be happy. He tells her to stay out of his business.
